After being greeted by Cao Cao, the attendant hurriedly entered the house, bowed with his fists, and bowed to Cao Cao.

Turning his gaze from the chessboard to the attendant, Cao Cao asked him, "What is the matter?" ”

"Qi Cao Gong, the villain overheard Xu Yu talking bad about Cao Gong!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the attendant said tremblingly: "Xu You said that Cao Gong Shaozhi would actually withdraw the army to Xu Du, and between his words, he was a little angry!" ”

"Smack!" As soon as the attendant's words fell, Cao Cao slapped the low table in front of him.

Xu You proposed in person that he should not evacuate Xu Du, although he was unhappy in his heart, he could still bear it.

But saying behind his back that he was less wise really made Cao Cao unbearable.

slapped on the table, Cao Cao is a hero after all, and he knows that if people know that he is dissatisfied with Xu You, he will definitely be laughed at by the world if he gets rid of Xu You in the future.

With a roll of his eyes, Cao Cao shouted outside the house: "Someone! ”

One of the guards guarding the outside of the house strode over to the attendant and bowed to Cao Cao with his fists folded.

Glancing at the guard, Cao Cao's eyes fell on the face of the attendant who reported to him that Xu Yu had secretly spoken ill of him, and said to the guard: "Drag this person out and behead him!" ”

The attendant originally wanted to reap some benefits from reporting to Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that what he got was Cao Cao's order to drag him out and behead him.

Knowing that Cao Cao was going to kill him, the attendant who was taken aback hurriedly shouted in horror: "Duke Cao, the villain is here to ...... Duke Cao."

"Shut up!" Before the attendant finished speaking, Cao Cao had already glared at him fiercely, and shouted at him: "Secretly slandering a certain subordinate, you still dare to say clever words!" ”

was yelled at by Cao Cao, and he didn't dare to say anything, and the attendant just looked at him with a panicked face.

With his brows tightly locked, Cao Cao shouted to the guards who were twisting his attendants: "Drag this person out and behead him!" ”

"Cao Gong spares his life!" He didn't expect Cao Cao to kill his attendants, and when he was twisted out by the guards, he was still wailing loudly.

The guard twisted the squire out, and the squire's wails grew farther and farther away.

Cao Cao's face turned pale, and when another guard outside the door closed them for him, he clenched his fists tightly and smashed a punch on the table.

Killing the attendants was not Cao Cao's wish.

Xu You has been unreasonable to him many times, and he wants to kill Xu You even more.

But killing Xu Yu now, the situation must be difficult to hide.

Frowning, Cao Cao shouted outside the house: "Someone!" ”

A guard strode into the room, clenching his fists and waiting for Cao Cao's orders.

Looking up at the guard, Cao Cao said to him, "Go and call Xu Chu!" ”

"No!" Clenched his fists and bowed to Cao Cao, the guard turned and left the room.

Cao Cao ordered the army to withdraw to Xudu, and on the evening of the day Cao Jun left, the news reached Yuan Shao's ears in Yecheng.

Knowing that Cao Jun had withdrawn, Yuan Shao was stunned for a while, but he didn't understand what Cao Cao was doing.

"Go and invite the judge and Fengji!" Sitting on the cover in the house, Yuan Shao wrinkled his brows and thought for a while before he shouted outside the house.

One of the guards outside the door answered, and quickly ran towards the outer courtyard, going to the trial and Fengji Mansion to invite them.

instructed the guards to invite the two, Yuan Shao sat on the cover, raised his face and was just distracted.

Cao Cao's occupation of Pingyang was undoubtedly a great threat to Yecheng, and his sudden withdrawal of troops made Yuan Shao feel a little bottomless in his heart.

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why Cao Jun had withdrawn, Yuan Shaozheng was bored, and the voice of the judge and Feng Ji came from outside the door: "Yuan Gong! ”

Hearing the two talking outside the door, Yuan Shao hurriedly looked up at the door, waved to them and said, "Come inside and talk!" ”

Striding into the house, Feng Ji and Juan saluted Yuan Shao again, and then sat down separately.

"Fang just got the news!" After the two of them sat down, Yuan Shao looked at them and said, "Cao Cao ordered the army to withdraw to Xudu, and now he has left Pingyang!" ”

"Yuan Gongke immediately ordered people to go and take over Pingyang!" When he said that Cao's army had withdrawn from Pingyang, Feng Ji hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and said to him: "Seeing that it is approaching winter, Cao Cao thought that it was due to the poor transportation of grain and grass, the army stationed in Hebei, and the winter clothes were also difficult to prepare, so he led the army to withdraw!" ”

After listening to Feng Ji's words, Yuan Shao nodded and said to him: "Yuan Tu can arrange this matter!" ”

Maintaining a fist-hugging posture in response, Feng Ji just sat down, and the judge on the side said to Yuan Shao: "Now that it is approaching winter, Yuan Gong should prepare as soon as possible, and when the snow falls, our army can leave Hebei and enter Chenliu!" ”

Raising his hand and brushing his beard, Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and pondered for a long time before he nodded, and said to the judge and Feng Ji: "You two have to think more about this matter!" ”

When the two of them answered, Yuan Shao waved his hand at them.

The two stood up, told him back, and exited the room.

As soon as the judge and Feng Ji withdrew, Yuan Shao turned his head and asked a maid on the side, "How are Xianyi these days?" ”

The maids who were waiting for Yuan Shao in the house, hearing him ask, one of them hurriedly responded: "Back to Yuan Gong, since the son of Xianyi came back alone from Luoyang, he has not been out of the door all day, and he has not seen anything unusual!" ”

Knowing that Yuan Xi did not have any abnormal behavior, Yuan Shaocai let out a long sigh.

Since the Battle of Guandu, he has had an extra layer of estrangement from Liu Wei in his heart.

In particular, Liu Wei sent Xu Shu to deceive Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, who were imprisoned by him, which made it even more difficult for Yuan Shao to let go in his heart.

Yuan Xi and his wife were invited to Luoyang by Liu Wei, and when they returned to Yecheng, Yuan Xi was the only one.

Although Yuan Shao never said this, he never let go of it from his heart.

"Go and summon Xianyi!" After a moment of silence, Yuan Shao gave an order to the maid who answered.

The maid answered, exited the room, and headed towards Yuan Xi's residence.

At this time, in Yuan Xi's room, several white candles were being lit on the candlestick.

The flames of the white candles danced on the candlesticks, reflecting the light of the room.

Kneeling behind the low table, Yuan Xi was holding a book in his hand and was looking at it intently.

After leaving Zhen Mi in Luoyang and returning to Yecheng, Yuan Xi locked his house in the house all day long, rarely went out, and did not have much contact with those staff and generals under Yuan Shao.

Before leaving Luoyang, Liu Wei had made a special trip to invite him to the back garden of the palace, and he specially explained that he should return to Yecheng and not be too high-profile.

Zhen Mi is in Luoyang, and Yuan Xi also knows that now, even in Yecheng, he is controlled by Liu Weiyao.

Hebei is already in danger, although Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang also know at this time that Cao Cao is eyeing Hebei, but as Yuan Shao's physical condition deteriorates, the fight between the two has surfaced from the dark.

In the days when he returned to Yecheng, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang both came to visit him, and what they wanted was nothing more than to hear Liu Wei's intentions from his mouth.

For these two brothers, Yuan Xi would not confess his affairs in Luoyang.

In order to avoid trouble, he locked his house in the house all day long, and put on a posture of hiding in the city.

Holding the book and looking at it, Yuan Xi heard a maid's voice outside the door: "Xianyi Gongzi, Yuan Gong is invited!" ”

Hearing Yuan Shao invite him, the look on Yuan Xi's face did not change at all.

Holding the half-read book in his hand, Yuan Xi said outside the house: "Sister piggyback, come here!" ”

The one who conveyed Yuan Shao's summons must be the maid in Yuan Shao's house.

The people around Yuan Shao were naturally more noble than the other servants and maids in the entire mansion.

On weekdays, even Yuan Xi and the others didn't dare to be too rude to the maids and servants in Yuan Shao's house.

The maid who came to summon Yuan Xi on the instructions of Yuan Shao, and when she heard Yuan Xi's answer, she didn't say anything more, and waited outside the door with her head bowed and her hands down.

Placing the book on the low table, Yuan Xi stood up and walked to the door with his feet raised.

When he arrived at the door, Yuan Xi clasped his fists and arched at the maid who came to invite him and said, "Sister Lao leads the way!" ”

After blessing Yuan Xi, the maid stood sideways, and waited until Yuan Xi raised his feet and walked in front of him, and then followed behind his side and went to Yuan Shao's residence.

Since the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's body bones have become worse and worse.

Although occasionally the spirit will be better, it will not last long.

After the trial and Feng Ji left, Yuan Shao asked the maid to summon Yuan Xi, and after sitting on the cover for a while, he felt a little sleepy and lay down.

Lying on the bed, Yuan Shao slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, he fell asleep deeply.

Following the maid to the door of Yuan Shao's residence, Yuan Xi hugged his fists and bowed down, and said to the house: "The child asks to see his father!" ”

When he said this, Yuan Xi's voice was not very small, but Yuan Shao in the house did not respond.

When a maid in the house heard Yuan Xi speak, she hurriedly greeted him and whispered to him: "Xianyi Gongzi, Yuan Gong has just fallen asleep, and the slave maid will wake up Yuan Gong!" ”

"No!" Knowing that Yuan Shao had fallen asleep, Yuan Xi hurriedly said to the maid who was going to call him: "Father is tired, sleep for a while, and wait here!" ”

was stopped by Yuan Xi, and the maid blessed him and retreated.

Yuan Xi didn't enter the house, just stood at the door, quietly waiting for Yuan Shao to wake up.

may be too tired, Yuan Shao slept for more than an hour.

After waking up, he suddenly remembered the previous incident of asking people to invite Yuan Xi, sat up and asked the maid in the house, "Has Xianyi been here?" ”

"Return to Yuan Gong!" Seeing that Yuan Shao woke up, a maid hurriedly said: "Prince Xianyi has been here for an hour, and when I saw Yuan Shao sleeping soundly, I have been waiting outside the house!" ”

Knowing that Yuan Xi had been waiting outside the house for an hour, Yuan Shao's face changed slightly, but then he returned to normal and said to the maid: "Please come in and speak!" ”
